Newton Project home

The recent Newton project completed by This Old House has now hit the newsstands with the Jan-Feb 2010 issue! A great project we are proud to be part of, and you can see the finished kitchen on pages 74 and 75. A lovely kitchen painted with Farrow & Ball’s Wimborne White, with our Newport door and Square Inset face frame construction.

Situated on Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, the Green Life Smart Life home has achieved GOLD LEED for Homes certification, making it the first LEED-H Gold home in Rhode Island. Crown Point Cabinetry is proud to have been chosen as the cabinetmaker for this beautiful project!

The LEED-H program (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification program for homes) is much like LEED certification for commercial buildings, schools and retail stores, LEED-H certification requires that the home meet prerequisites and earn points in different categories. The total number of points determines if a certificate will be awarded and at what level. Qualified homes can be Certified, Silver, Gold or Platinum, with Platinum requiring a home to earn 90-136 points of a possible 136.

The homeowners, Joseph and Kimberly Hageman, were able to earn points toward their Gold certification by using Crown Point Cabinetry. Notes Kimberly, “We had Crown Point in our previous home, and loved the cabinetry! With this project, Crown Point met three objectives: Build the cabinetry with FSC-certified lumber, use a low VOC finish and be within 500 miles of our location.”

Mark Wirta, Crown Point’s designer working with Kimberly, makes the point that “it wasn’t a difficult process, and we were excited by the opportunity to provide exactly what was needed for this notable project.”

Kimberly selected Oyster White Milk Paint to be used over the FSC-certified Maple in the kitchen, and a variation of Federal Blue Milk Paint in the Master Bath. “The adventure of pulling all of this together was exciting, and Mark’s wonderful design really clicked with us,” says Kimberly.

Crown Point Cabinetry is proud to be a part of the latest This Old House Project in Newton Centre, MA!  Crown Point designers Tamara Raymond and Lois Horan worked directly with the homeowners to provide period style white Farrow & Ball painted cabinetry for their Dutch Colonial Revival Home.

This beautiful Crown Point Kitchen will be featured as a stop on the "A Taste of Glen Ridge" kitchen tour this weekend!

Two separate fundraising kitchen tours in New Jersey will feature a beautiful Crown Point kitchen this weekend!  Crown Point Cabinetry is a proud sponsor of both events  and will have a Crown Point Designer on hand at each location to answer any questions and offer up cabinetry design advice for every room in your home.

The first is the “Hearth & Home Kitchen Tour” in Westfield on Saturday, October 3rd from 10:00am to 4:00pm.  The featured kitchen in this tour boasts cherry cabinetry, accented with a Pitch Black over Barn Red island.  This tour will benefit the Holy Trinity Interparochial School in Westfield.  Crown Point Designer, Bob Davis, will be on-site to answer any questions you might have about our cabinetry.

The second tour will be “A Taste of Glen Ridge Kitchen Tour” in Glen Ridge on Sunday, October 4th from 12:00am-4:00pm.  Ticketholders will tour the kitchen pictured above featuring Paper White cabinetry, leaded glass doors and a beautiful all-wood island top.  Funds raised that day will benefit the Glen Ridge Public Schools.  Crown Point Designer, Karen Laskoske, will be there to provide advice in the planning and design of cabinetry for all rooms.

Please let us know if you’re interested in attending either of these fine kitchen tours.  We can offer you free entry if you call us soon!  We’re looking forward to both events and would love to see you there!

This barnboard and black kitchen cabinetry features a unique combination for an amazing one-of-a-kind custom kitchen island!

We’ve handcrafted the authentic, honest-to-goodness barnboard lumber (reclaimed by the good folks at Carlisle Wide Plank floors) into posts and horizontal runners for cabinets that feature our frameless construction! The island itself will contain an oven on one end, and a cooktop in the center area. (Note: The brackets you currently see under the cabinetry won’t be necessary once the cabinets are installed into the client’s home.)

Here’s a look at the opposite side. The left door on the end is fixed, and the right door is hinged to function as a normal door.

Front view.

A closer look at the door and frameless construction.

Our last image brings us in close for a detail view that really shows the beauty of the barnboard!

Our friends at Yankee Barn Homes recently highlighted a Crown Point Kitchen on their blog, Post And Beam Living! In part two of a posting series they’ve dubbed Homes I’m Loving Right Now, the entry features a stunning timber frame New Hampshire home, with an overall shot of the gorgeous kitchen!

We thought now would be a great time to share our own detailed photos of the kitchen.  Here are a couple more shots for your viewing pleasure!

The range area is made even more beautiful with a New England style hand-painted mural.  The mural is by Christina Neuser, owner of the Urban Crayon, and a commissioned artist for clients throughout New England.

This is a handsome Yankee Barn model home, open for tours by appointment.  You can contact Yankee Barn Homes for a tour, or contact us to help design the cabinetry for your own dream home!
